High resolution magnetic resonance (MR) images of the distal radius were obtained at 1.5
Tesla in premenopausal normal, postmenopausal normal, and postmenopausal …

Peripheral measurement techniques have been the first to be developed for the assessment
of osteoporosis, and they remain useful. Besides traditional approaches such as …

Recently, an imaging technique using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) has emerged
as a method for nondestructively assessing the microarchitecture of unprocessed surgical …

Although bone mineral density is one of the most important contributing factors to bone
strength and risk of fracture, studies have shown that changes in bone quality and structure …

Although various techniques exust for high-resolution, three-dimensional imaging of
trabecular bone, a common limitation is that resolution depends on specimen size. Most …

Abstract The three‐dimensional (3D) morphology of trabecular bone is frequently quantified
using computer programs. However, there are no standardized implementations of …

Automatic contextual segmentation algorithms were developed to objectively identify bone
compartments in pQCT images of tibiae, femora, and vertebrae. Principal advantages of this …

It is in the context of non-invasive assessment of trabecular bone architecture, that recent
efforts have focussed on the development of imaging modalities such as magnetic resoance …

Although bone mineral density (BMD) is one of the most important contributing factors to
bone strength and fracture risk, studies have shown that changes in bone quality and …

Since Dual Photon Absorptiometry or Dual energy X-ray Absorptiometry measures bone
mineral content with a good quality of reproduction, this technique is an efficient tool for …
